Anxiety Support Group
Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...
Hello
I've started to feel a little bit better anxiety wise, I think my pills are kicking in a bit now so it's making life a bit easier.
But I can't stop worrying about my husband. Things have improved a bit over the last week between us but now I can't stop worrying about him. So much so that I'm getting very anxious and even had a panic attack because I was worrying about him so much.
He's having a tough time with work, he's a self-employed plumber. Over the last year or so he has retrained to do this and earlier this year set up his business. Now he's not haping doing it. He's very tired, complains about it all the time, worries about money etc. I feel I should be helping but there's nothing I can do and yet I can't switch off from worrying about him.
It's almost as if I feel responsible for his unhappiness. He has told me that even if I wasn't here he would have to be working and he isn't doing it just because of me but worrying about him is just whirling round my head making me tense and anxious.
Any suggestions please?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I get anxious when my hubby brings his work problems home with him. I don't need the stress of that, on top of the Autistic son we have, my RA and the other 2 boys, it's just too much. You need to think about yourself hon :)
He went out to do errands, I am just too tired and I am thinking of taking half a valium, that's how nervous it made me. I have to remember my faith, how that always gets me thru and when I am anxious the aith goes out the window, so instead of taking the half of valium, I will go now and pray for him and for us, and our financial situation. I can't work either. Amen and thanks for bringing this up.
It's okay for him to have a bad day or a few bad days... work is a fact of life and it can get depressing when you are doing something you don't love to do... which most people aren't. Take a vacation together or even just surprise him with a wonderful relaxing night. don't worry so much... just be there for him till he decides what he wants and is what he is going to do.
